It so, is it worth getting? Does anything need to be coded for it to be fitted?

(I'll ignore all the inevitable messages about mileage correct, that's not what I'm asking here.)

Yes it is.

Thanks

So it should just slip into the '57 Elegance then, in theory.

I've read quite a few threads on here that retro-fitting maxidot is complex and does require coding.

If you do a search on the Octavia 2 forum using "retrofitting maxidot" you'll get a flavour for the issues.

Thanks Mike - comprehensive answer as always :) :thumbup:

Mine's a 105PD diesel, so I'll give that a miss. Just saw it and thought "bargin!". Mailed the seller a few days ago about milage, still no reply, so another reason to give it a miss.

Will probably go to Shark and have it done properly, but there are other things higher on the list at the moment :giggle:

I had a PD170 vRS maxidot display retrofitted into my old PD140 Octavia diesel, worked like a charm.

I bought my maxidot unit from Eddie-NL. reasonable price. Fitted by skoda as its a FL one. Works well and intergrates well with retrofitted OEM bluetooth. PreFL ones has less problems re immobilizer issues as mikeholroyd's post. Go for it makes a big difference in a PreFL car.
